A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

“It's okay. It's okay. It's going to be okay in the end,“ Bonnie comforted herself between sobs.

When the issue regarding the excess sodium was reported by the media, the company's reputation dwindled drastically. The stock price began to fall, and the public was furious at their company. After Darren got arrested, most of their investors withdrew their investment. The capitalists who saw the news also lost their interest to cooperate with him and the company.

To make matters worse, the turnover rate of their employees increased after the news broke out. Every day, they would get several resignation letters from their employees. Once, Bonnie paid a visit to the HR department, and what she witnessed that day broke her heart.

Each time that one of their employees chose to resign, the KING Group's competitors would have the chance to hire a hardworking and capable employee from the KING Group. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the company ended up with a shortage of employees.

The board of directors even decided to sell most of their shares in order to reduce their losses.

When the decision was made, some of the netizens immediately started to complain on major social media platforms about the KING Group.

“I hope you go bankrupt!“ they would post on those social media platforms.

“The boss of that heartless company was arrested. Is it because of the loss of humanity or the loss of morality?“

As she read the nasty comments on several forums, Bonnie wanted to defend the KING Group and Darren, but she didn't know how to do it. She looked up and saw her tear-stained face in the mirror. She wiped her tears away from her red cheeks and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

If she wanted to solve this problem, then she needed to find out the root of all this mess.

After she made up her mind, Bonnie asked Harlan to find out the address of the patient who claimed to have been poisoned. She also brought some gifts with her as a gesture of goodwill and went to the address by herself.

She parked her car in the remote parking lot of the run-down neighborhood. She meticulously followed the directions she was given and found the house without difficulty. Then, she started to loudly knock on the door. “I am coming! Stop knocking,“ she heard an irritated female voice yell after a few more knocks.

The door opened wide with an aggressive creek. Bonnie was greeted by an older woman who was wearing a scowl on her face. It looked like she wasn't keen on getting surprise visitors.

The woman looked a little over fifty years old and had a chubby figure. She was wearing a floral dress and a pair of slippers. She squinted her eyes at Bonnie. She looked like she was in a temper.
